Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

PPE consists of one survival suit, one life jacket and one personal radio beacon (PLB) for each passenger. Different models of survival suits from different manufacturers are available. A pre-selection of the components is determined before the contract is signed by the companies. The PPE is tailored to fit and adapted to further activity before departure and being issued to passengers. Approved life jackets are also provided for the suits, which are equipped with a PLB and an EBS (Escape Breathing System). The EBS is a small breathing air bottle (STASS) from which, similar to diving, the passenger is supplied with breathing air in an emergency.
